The Witcher 3

nintendoo

What's the difference between game of the year edition and complete edition for Witcher 3 ?
Also, what's a good price for Witcher 3 with all DLC physical ... I see < 20 quid at the moment on Amazon UK (xbox one).
I know it's on game pass; but It looks like I'll need a couple of years to get through this

Stolen from Reddit:

There's no difference, it's the same release that contains the base game + all possible expansions and dlc. The name difference is due to regional marketing. The PS4 edition is known as "Complete" in North America and "Game of the Year" in Europe, but as I said, contentwise it's the same game as the GOG GOTY. So pick your preferred platform and game away.

I got stung by buying the standard edition on Steam for €22 just over a week before they ran the GOTY Ed for €15 ... wasn't so bad, I had €9 in my Steam wallet that I'd completely forgotten about ... but still. Will get the DLC whenever it's on good sale again maybe.

On the largest Skellige island directly north of is a small island (its on its own about the same distance to any other island), go there at level 16 :D

I just might I'll be heading over that way to find the Master Armorer anyway, as it's one of my active quests.

Finally made the decision to play this. Never played the others but it's on game pass so why not give it a bash.

Am liking it but man it's very hard. Am only level 3 and I just met Triss and I am coming up against level 10 enemies. Boo.

Also for the life of me I can't win a game of Gwent :pac: I get how to play it as some good YouTube videos. Just that everyone seems to have better cards.

Sounds like you didnt spend long enough in Velen. Meeting Triss in Novigrad is like lvl 10 stuff.

Yeah. You're right. Was doing the baron quest then decided to go off at meet Triss. Guess I'll just have to grind a bit more before going back.

your cards are crap at the start. Buy some off innkeepers and merchants and you'll win some along the way. Gwent gets addictive.

And then you get to struggle with playing the game of "have i won a card off of this merchant yet?" :pac::D

ah stop. First playthrough, I missed the Dandelion card. Second playthrough I wanted platinum, didn't realise in was such a pain to track every card down.

Started on both HoS and B&W over the past few days, which is best to complete first or is it best to do both together? Assume HoS as its based in the same areas

Hearts of stone then blood and wine

Thecageyone

From what gather, you need to complete Wild Hunt before playing B&W, but you can play HOS at any stage [though possibly still best to wait]

Damn I need a Gwent card but the innkeeper isnt there. There is an innkeeper icon on the map but no one there. And I cant get the Wolf Armor because of a glitch.
but I love this damn game.

I feel like I'm the only person who played through this and didn't like Gwent

If I remember correctly and it's the part I'm thinking of then the innkeeper only appears at a certain time of day, possibly the evening time being an inn and all! But definitely meditate a few times and he should appear at some stage.

I wouldn't say I didn't like it. I just didn't play all that much of it as collecting them all seemed like an unnecessary pain in the arse. I didn't like the trend of open world games adding tons of collectibles so was put off from the get go.

Didn't like it in my first play through but gave it another go and love it now!

I'm with you on this. I tried on each of my 3 (or 4, can't remember) breakthroughs, and it just isn't for me. There's a far better game to be playing!

Finished hearts of stone last night.

For 3 euros it was great value. It was a great story and picked up 2 rare swords.

Blood and wine next

skerry

After 200+ hrs on this on Xbox for some reason I'm tempted to pick this up on Switch. Anyone here playing the Switch version, especially after coming from other platforms, how are you finding it? The thought of tipping away on this in handheld is appealing to me.

Can anyone recommend a place to buy Blood and Wine?

The Microsoft Store want €20 notes for it.

Steam have it on sale for 8 beans. If you don't have it on your computer/laptop, the good news is that the GOTY edition is also on sale for €15 so not only do you make a massive saving, you also get to play the game again. Win win!
I know this because I bought it for my sister to make a new addict give her something to do and she expressed a passing curiosity.

I like the stand alone game, but can't get with it in the Witcher. The stanalone version has evolved so much, everything from the style, animations, the amount of cards, how cards work etc has been revamped numerous times since the closed beta days [where it looked a lot more like the Witcher version] - If it played more like main Gwent now, I'd definitely play it.

Damn got the bad ending again.

I thought I did everything right but Ciri died and Geralt was surrounded by monsters. Now im having a hard time on this Frog Prince bullshít
